I've spent my entire career in the technology industry, and while that may seem like it's a million miles away from writing fiction, it was actually a job that I had back in ancient times (a.k.a, the 90's) that sparked my interest. At the time I was working for a Fortune 10 company providing pre-sales technical support to our (thousands) of sales people around the globe, and one of my team’s responsibilities was producing a bi-monthly newsletter. This was not the typical little 2-3 page newsletter: each issue was between 36-56 pages. Writing and co-editing articles for this newsletter quickly became my favorite part of the job, and everything else quickly started to feel like an interruption of my writing. Each issue was distributed to approximately 5,000 people, and it was consistently recognized and awarded for its excellence.
Once the writing bug was unleashed, I wanted to write a full-length novel and finally accomplished that goal in 2008 when I wrote and published 'Let the Truth Be Told', a political-action thriller that readers compared to David Baldacci, Robert Ludlum, Brad Thor, and Tom Clancy. I was very happy with the reviews and resultant sales, not to mention the learning opportunities as I made my first foray into the book world.
I currently reside in Williamsburg, VA and I'm a member of James River Writers (Richmond, VA) and actively participate in their workshops and learning activities to improve my writing and industry knowledge. I continue to pursue my writing and am passionate about creating more stories and characters, and I’m currently working on the outlines for two new manuscripts. The first book in my new ‘Jessica Jansen Thriller’ series, ‘The Murder Game’, was released in December, 2022 and will be followed by at least 2-3 more crime/police/detective mysteries that should appeal to fans of David Baldacci, James Patterson, Lincoln Child, J.D. Robb, and others. Book #2 in the series, ‘Glitz. Glamour. Murder.’ is now available for your Kindle and will be released in paperback/hardback on Tuesday, September 19th!
